This area has remained remarkably unspoilt despite its accessibility to some of Scotland's principal towns and cities. Glasgow is only 40 minutes drive, with Edinburgh only slightly longer. Stirling too is very close, with regular Inter-City rail connections to north and south. Both Glasgow and Edinburgh Airports offer a wide range of domestic and international flights.

Fintry is the small, well kept, local village, with shops, hotels and a local sports club. The main activities in the area are farming and forestry and there is also a considerable tourist trade during the summer months. Culcreuch Castle is approached from the B822 Kippen to Lennoxtown road. North and South Lodges flank the two entrances to the driveway, which forms a loop terminating in a gravel sweep in front of the Castle. The Castle is just to the north of Fintry, which itself is due east of Killearn on the B818, between Killearn and Denny. This secluded setting contributes greatly to Fintry's charm.

Culcreuch is a very special estate with its Castle, wooded policies and farm, totally secluded on the edge of the Fintry Hills, yet easily accessible to Glasgow. The surrounding countryside is amongst the most attractive and unspoilt to be found anywhere in Central Scotland as traditionally Fintry has always been a rural backwater served only by minor roads, so preserving its old fashioned charm.
